  Ritigala is a strict nature reserve. So you can visit only some places alowed by the forest department. Hikers do not allowed to the top of the mountain, before you visit the place you get a special permission for that. If you do not obay the rules in there you shoul punished by the department. And you cant use your maps inside the forest. The map showing the nearest town for the security readons.

  Historically very important place. In ancient time one of a important monastery build for the monks for their meditation and livings. A big pond for use of 500 monks. Hospital with all facilities. Amazing big trees and sounds of the animals bring a peaceful mind to be relax.

  The ancient monastery complex is an amazing calm and serene environment. Easy trekking even for weak people. It's a very good example for advanced architecture and other engineering practices of the ancient era.

  A beautiful and interesting trail. 40 mins return for half the distance (stopping at the waterfall). Apparently 2 hours return for the whole walk if you don't get lost!
